    أطفئْ بها نيرانَ أفئدةَ الضَّنى

    And scatter mercies; hardship has kept us sleepless.

    These eyes have streamed with their tears.

    For their fire has taken hold forever.

  5. و الأمنياتُ القابعاتُ بَكَتْ سُدى

    تجري إليك تريدُ أنْ تَتَطَمَّنا

    And the huddled wishes have wept in vain.

    They run to you, wishing to be reassured.

  6. و النائباتُ تَمُرُّ فِي أرجائِنا

    ضِقنا بها ذرعاً و قد طالتْ بنا

    And calamities pass through our midst.

    We can bear them no longer, and they have lingered with us so long.

    Ramadan, come, and scatter solace here.

    Dispel the wandering sleeplessness that has settled in.

    Ramadan, in a night stained with sorrow,

    We need from you a cloud, and radiance too.

    وَ لِقاؤُك السَّعدُ الحَبيبُ , فَكُنْ لَنا

    And we persist in whispered prayer to attain our happiness.

    And meeting you is cherished joy; so be there for us.

  11. نَرجوكَ يا ربَ الصَيام و ربَّنا

    تطوي مآسينا بهِ ؛ ننسى الوَنى

    We implore You, O Lord of fasting and our Lord,

    To fold away our tragedies through it, so we forget our weariness.

  12. رَبَّاه ؛ قد ضاقتْ بنا أرواحُنا

    ضاقتْ مسالِكُنا وَ ضِقنا بِالعَنا

    O my Lord, our souls have grown too narrow for us.

    Our paths have narrowed, and we are hemmed in by hardship.

  13. رمضان ياربِّي تَجَلَّى بيننا

    حَمداً إليكَ بِهِ فذا نِعم الغِنَى

    Ramadan, O my Lord, has shone forth among us.

    Praise to You for it—what splendid wealth this is!

  14. أَذهِبْ بِهِ آلامَنا و هُمومَنا

    بَلِّلْ بِهِ أكبادَنا وَ اسقِ الدُّنى

    Through it, take away our pains and our worries.

    Moisten our livers through it, and give the worlds drink.

  15. و اغفرْ بهِ زَلَّاتِنا وَ ذُنوبَنا

    For our sins come in succession, shattering our refuge.

  16. وارفعْ بهِ دَرجَاتَنا نحوَ العُلا

    واختمْ بهِ أيّامَنا نحوَ الهَنا

    And through it, raise our ranks toward the heights.

    And through it, bring our days to an end that leads to bliss.
